AB - NYSERDA engaged three contractors to conduct the various analyses comprising this Great Lakes Wind Feasibility Study performed during February 2021 to May 2022. The Study focused on Lake Erie and Lake Ontario and consisted of data gathering, information synthesis, technical analysis, and development of recommendations for next steps to help New York achieve its ambitious Clean Energy Standard. The Study considered existing and emerging technologies for fixed and floating turbines, including icing considerations unique to the Great Lakes, new technology development timelines, geospatial conditions, resource assessment, regulatory processes, permitting requirements and risks, potential conflicts, costs and economic opportunities, electrical infrastructure, and overall cost-reduction pathways. Public engagement was facilitated by NYSERDA throughout the study and included public webinars and a public forum in 2021.Supporting Technical Reports:Evaluation of Site ConditionsPhysical Siting AnalysisGeophysical and Geohazards CharacterizationInfrastructure AssessmentSubstructure RecommendationsInterconnectionCost AnalysisEconomic Development and Workforce OpportunitiesRelative Risks, Minimization/Mitigation, and BenefitsVisual Impacts State and Federal Permitting RoadmapPublic Feedback SessionNew York State Great Lakes Wind Energy Feasibility Study - NYSERDA White Paper
